Hargreaves Soil & Waste Cast Iron Drainage

Traditional Express soil is an industry leading push fit soil system designed for a lifetime performance. The contemporary cast iron system provides the aesthetic appearance of traditional cast iron soil systems and is suitable for listed properties and conservation projects. The push fit system provides substantial savings in labour for each joint. Full installation instructions can be provided on request, no specialist training is required.

Features

• 100mm diameter socketless pipes are available in 1.8m & 3m lengths are supplied pre-painted in a black gloss finish.

• Compared to traditional LCC soil systems the Traditional Express soil system is lighter and easier to handle but still retains all the inherent qualities of cast iron including strength and longevity.

• Correctly installed and maintained Traditional Express Soil systems will last over 100 years.

• Long life expectancy makes cast iron the cost effective choice.

• 100% recyclable at the end of its life.

Quiet in operation

• Low noise levels due to the sound deadening properties of cast iron.

Applicable standards and codes of practice

• BS 416 part 2 – Soil, waste and ventilating pipes and fittings.

• BS EN 681 – 1 Synthetic rubber gaskets.

• BS EN 12056 – Codes of practice for gravity drainage systems, internal buildings.Hargreaves’ Premier LCC Soil range provides a comprehensive offering of traditional socket & spigot pipes and fittings for soil and waste installations on the external facade of buildings with the added option to commission bespoke fabrications to special order. Supplied ready to fit with a black bitumen finish as standard, the cast iron system offers the ideal solution for conservation and heritage projects where a pipe system is required to blend sympathetically with the building.

Features

• Pipes available from 50mm to 150mm diameters in standard lengths 0.6m, 0.9m, 1.2m and 1.8m.

• All products are based on imperial dimensions so ensuring compatibility with existing installations when replacing or extending pipework.

• Ornamental earbands are available in 9 standard designs to fit all sizes of Premier LCC soil pipes.

Jointing

• Cold caulked joints can be made with 6mm caulking cord and black joint sealant both available from stock.

• This method removes the requirement for using naked flames to melt lead on site.

• Approximately 4m of caulking cord and a quarter of a cartridge of sealant would be required to make a joint in 4” diameter system.

Strength / Durability

• Premier pipes are highly resistant to distortion caused by accident or vandalism

• Pipes and fittings are coated in a black bituminous coating for long term protection.

Long Life

• Correctly installed and maintained Premier soil systems can last in excess of 100 years.

Halifax Soil is a comprehensive range of socketless pipes and fittings in 50mm to 300mm diameters suitable for internal soil, waste and rainwater instalations. The agrément certified system is particularly suitable to high rise projects. An extensive variety of couplings and brackets offer flexibility to satisfy most designs. Typical applications include public buildings, apartments, offices, hospitals, hotels and car parks.

Jointing HALIFAX SOIL

• Socketless pipes and fittings can be jointed using a choice of 3 coupling types; no specialist tools or equipment are required for installation.

• Pipes do not require expansion joints due to the low coefficient of expansion.

• Axial restraint up to 10 bar possible enables the system to be used in sensitive areas e.g. computer rooms etc.

Features

• Socketless pipes are available from 50mm to 300mm diameters in 3m lengths.

• Choice of both ductile iron and stabilised chrome steel couplings to satisfy most designs.

• A large selection of brackets to support and brace pipework in both vertical and horizontal situations

• Halifax Soil products will be supplied in accordance with CE markings requirements.

Paint finish

The Halifax system pipes are lined internally with a two part epoxy finish which provides improved performance when exposed to aggressive substances. Fitting are also epoxy coated and provide a similar level of performance.

Availability Halifax Soil coatings have been tested successfully for resistance to attack by salt spray, waste water, hot water cycling and solution of acid at PH12 and alkalis at PH12 and conform to BS EN877 1999. Hargreaves’ internal quality control procedures ensure the integrity of the coating is maintained through process monitoring and final inspection of coating thickness and adhesion.

Halifax Drain is a comprehensive range of socketless pipes and fittings in 100mm to 300mm diameters suitable for below ground drainage situations. The cast iron system provides greater resistance to ground movement than PVC or clay systems; an important consideration when building on made-up land. A choice of ductile iron or stainless steel couplings to satisfy most designs and facilitate connection directly to our Halifax Soil above ground soil system. Typical applications include drainage pipes below public buildings, hospitals, hotels and exposed bridge drainage.

Features

• Socketless pipes are available from 100mm to 300mm diameters in 3m lengths.

• Lightweight pipes and fittings for speedy installation to reduce time on site but with the inherent strength of traditional cast iron pipe systems.

• Choice of either ductile iron or stainless steel couplings to satisfy most designs require no specialist tools or equipment for installation.

Strength / Durability

• Halifax Drain pipes are highly resistant to sheer loads.

• Low risk of settlement damage.

• Where extra loading is likely other drainage materials may need additional protection in the form of a concrete surround. Less embedment means that normally cast iron requires no extra protection saving time and money.

• High resistance to distortion which reduces chances of damage when more vigorous rodding is required.

Long Life

• Correctly installed and maintained Halifax Drain systems can last in excess of 100 years.

• Long life expectancy makes cast iron the cost effective choice.

• 100% recyclable at the end of its life.

Quality

• All Halifax Drain products have been manufactured to comply with BS EN 877.

The Halifax system pipes are lined internally with a two part epoxy finish which provides improved performance

when exposed to high temperatures or aggressive substances. Fitting are also epoxy coated and provide a similar

level of performance. Halifax Drain pipes are finished with a two part epoxy grey coating with an average dry thickness of 170 microns.

Mech 416 Soil is a mechanically jointed range of socketless pipes and fittings in 50mm to 150mm diameters suitable for above ground soil & waste installations. The Mech 416 System is especially suitable for the refurbishment of apartments, offices and multi-storey car parks. Mechanically jointed systems provide all the benefits of a conventional BS416 socket and spigot cast iron soil system but also offer significant labour savings due to the efficient jointing techniques employed.

Features

• Socketless pipes are available from 100mm to 150mm diameters in 3m lengths supplied in a matt black finish.

• Compared to traditional LCC soil systems the Mech 416 system is lighter and easier to handle but still retains all the inherent qualities of cast iron including strength and longevity.

• The robust couplings for joining pipes and fittings are manufactured in ductile iron for optimum performance. No special installation tools or equipment are required.
